To Boldy Go
And our English teacher was talking about split infinitives. He made the very interesting point that, in fact, the rule for split infinitives is an old remenant from Latin. Additionally, it really has no place in our language. A direct quote:
Split infinitives are everywhere! Take Star Trek, for example. They say “To boldy go where no man has gone before.” They don’t say “To go boldy” they say “To boldy go.” “To BOLDLY go.” You don’t fuck with the guy who says it that way!
Then this stunned silence falls; you could tell he was joking and he was building up to that … but considering this is our English professor, a man who has at his disposal more words than we can possibly imagine. It was a good tie in to our discussion (and listening session) of Eminem as a poet, though. Never a dull moment in English.
